This sort of thing highlights that FOSS isn't even close to free, ever.
If we were to compute the developer hours invested in a project like Linux we would easily determine it likely is the most expensive software project in history. The cost of the time is borne by individual developers, companies and universities, all of whom require some form of financial support in order to do so. Or, at the individual level, starve and not have a life (unless wealthy and the work is a hobby).
Denis Pushkarev, CoreJS's developer, abandon this project and move on. The list of large companies benefiting from his work who have not moved a finger to make sure he is able to continue working on this while supporting a family with dignity is massive.
Short list of notable companies from the screen grab:
baidu.com
amazon.com
yahoo.com
microsoft.com
taobao.com
openai.com
instagram.com
twitter.com Elon: Give this man a job!
weibo.com
reddit.com
twitch.tv
zoom.us
aliexpress.com
adobe.com
patreon.com
pinterest.com
etc.
Yeah, this is silly. Move on. Immediately. The people who care do not care enough to help or support you.

DO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT DISCONNECTING FROM THIS PROJECT! THESE PEOPLE DO NOT VALUE YOUR WORK. MOVE ON. IMMEDIATELY.
